Ommatid Code and Design Files

A neat feature of github is that you can embed a 3D rendering of a
.stl file in a live view that you can rotate and zoom with the
mouse. For example:

The .STL files were created for the Stratsys Connex 500 printers at Pier 9 which can
print in two kinds of resin: transparent and opaque. So each half of
the sphere has two .stl files corresponding to the clear and opaque
parts. The bottom half is identical to the top half save for the
bottom triangular segment has a 1" diameter hole for the pedestal and
three small ventilation holes.
